Concern level

High concern

Botanical mushroom extract from Inonotus obliquus, commonly known as chaga. In cosmetics it is used mainly as a skin-conditioning ingredient, with interest driven by its antioxidant and protective phytochemicals. COSMILE lists the ingredient as skin conditioning, and a published cosmetic study reports melanogenesis-related activity in chaga extract.
